        What is Magnet Designation??
           Being named a Magnet Organization 
          is the highest level of recognition that 
            the American Nurses Credentialing 
               Center (ANCC) can accord to 
              healthcare organizations which 
                   provide nursing care.  
     Only  391* hospitals in our country (about 6%)  are considered “Magnet 
     Hospitals.”  Vanderbilt is the first in Nashville and the only the3rd in the 
     state of Tennessee.
